beneath the mask of the snake |

do you wonder if the gods feel what we feel?
some were once men, women, children once
some experienced the same pain we felt, walked in our shoes
yet what makes them so much more different than us?
the serpent god does not care
a god of doom, a god of poison, a god of snakes
a god of deceit, a god of apathy, a god of misery
he who is above
and yet, i have to ask, why does he see it fit that we return to nothing?
an endless nothing, ceaseless, aimless?
what makes us so different to the mainlanders?
why is it that we are to experience such... emptiness, in our own demise?
we are taught that cruelty is the way of our world
that to stand out is to invite the gaze of doom
for that is the nature of our species
to invite doom
to bring it unto others
a nephilim once showed me what it was like to live in the moment
she laughed with me, in a way none of my kind have
she taught me what compassion was on the mainland
it was strangely sweet
she showed me that dreams don't have to be just that
she showed me that the world was not what it seemed
she showed me that nothing is impossible
and yet
i cant
repay
her
it is in our nature as the yynglan-yi
to struggle in the face of our demise
to embrace doom as if it is second nature
it is in our nature
as the yynglan-yi
to invite doom unto others
i feel disgusted
i feel hatred
yet in my desire to change things
i am creating
i create because it is all i know
i create because it brings me joy
i create because
because
it is oft said that destruction precedes creation
that for one thing to become another
it must first be destroyed
so, then, i ask
what of despair
must one experience hope
to understand despair?
runes are a fickle thing
intention manifested in words
words manifested into reality
alteration on a magical scale
runes are a form of creation i understand
runes are what allow me to alter my mistakes
runes are what have kept me so focused
runes are what pathed the way to the impossible
it is through truly reading them
truly writing them
that i understand
creation
im so sorry, gwyn
i didnt mean to do this
i didnt mean to invite you to his gaze
i didnt
i didnt want you to die
please dont leave me alone
im not ready
please
p le
as e
or so that's what i believe

- There are two slots, boy and girl.
- You were born in Londo and mostly raised there, but also spent a lot of time in Serenity with your father.
- After your mother's death, and Londo's destruction, you were taken by your father to live in Serenity but you were also often taken care of by your grandparents and the rest of the family, be it by blood or bond.
- You were taught about Mestra and your drakanite heritage, but your parents gave you a choice on how you wished to start your own path.
- One slot may start in a week.
- The other slot is available in two weeks.
- You were spoiled and loved by everyone, so you have a lot of support out there, just have to seek it out.
DM .georgiana or vyndakator if you are interested!!

The Dream of Man |

A singular year after the defeat of the Demon King.
That was all that was afforded before the surviving states of The Republic of Paritas were beckoned to a meeting of its Senate, not by the High Chancellor nor Vice, but instead by an equal member - The very same seat held by the Knight-Commander of the Goldlight Order.
A call, for each Senator or their chosen Second to attend.
And upon the same date The Order´s Guard is convened, not solely to maintain their vigil over the Castle-City, but instead for assignments and briefings on what lay ahead for the coming years.
The Senate is summoned,
And The Militant Arm gathers for orders.
Yet only time will tell who answers.
As the first piece is moved into place.
Chaos was the law of nature,
And Order was the Dream of Man.
DATE: Sunday, the 17th of November
[Guard Briefing and Assignments]
5PM EST/ 10PM GMT
[Senate Meeting]
6PM EST / 11PM GMT
LOCATION: Martyrs´ Vigil

.. Duchess??? |

The Duchess herds droves of sharkfinned mermaids, razor-toothed anguill and meek, furred selkie into Nereides' Temple of Yama.
Garbed in unoutstanding plainclothes but her coronet and a blue flower nested in her hair, she rumouredly makes a starkly different, starkly uncharacteristic proclaimation.
Words find themselves penned in no exactly accurate transcription, but as is expected of a proclamation to an entire isle ..
.. something makes it's rounds on the grapevine.
Quote:"... Dor'alanor.
The selkie by the name 'Evangeleana' is hereby banned from passage to our isle.
I extend this ban to also encompass the King until a certain arrangement is righted.
I am aware of your concerns. This grave announcement pertains to an act of sanctity.
That will be all."
".. Wait, what?"
"Can she even do that?"
"Is that even legal?"
Whispers make the rounds.. why would the Duchess breach the terms of her covenant and commit treachery?
Conclusions point to various different possibilities: she is sick, she is cursed, or having a bad weekend.
The question of whether or not she is serious or not weighs in the air.

Quote:"We have stayed our hand and shown leniency on those of you who disrespect our ways, when brought before the Vindicators we have been merciful and accepted coin instead of simply removing the heads of those that continue to insult us. One individual in particular has been severely egregious, known as 'Carina', the only reason she is alive is because of the respect held for the one that wishes to save her life.
You will get that chance Indra Kal, in a grand tournament with her as the prize at the end. I believe in honor and pride above all else, to kill your beloved in a dark room where you could not see would stain my being. Missives will be sent out to those important on the continent, those that wish to enter the tournament shall find safe passage on the day."
OOC INFORMATION
The tournament will be taking place in the near future, to insure that Indra Kal is able to attend, the schedule will be oriented around their player.
The Tournament itself is going to be your run of the mill brackets, if possible I'd like staff to be involved in the bracket matchups.
Entry into the tournament is going to be 20,000 coins per participant, not too much right?
A When2Meet for gauging player attendance to the event is here.
When a date is set, it will be posted below.

Returning to Ka Shaer (Event Line) |

Across the boundless oceans, a ship finds itself once more in the waves and tides of the Ghost Seas, just beyond the countless coasts of Ka Shaer. Upon it’s personnel were none other than the Yyngaln-yi that had arrived to the continent of Meranthe itself.
Though their intention was not to leave Meranthe, but to return to it with a few bounties and baubles from Ka Shaer and the Empire.
…But the coasts and continents of Ka Shaer are ever dangerous; consistently so. Nothing they achieve here will come without a fight, nor cost. Regardless, the materials of their homeland hold grand value.
Such was their reason for setting sail in the first place.
But who knows what they'll come face to face with, in the ever-winding jungles and villages made of illusion.
ATTENDEES: CYTHONIS + ANY YYNGALN-YI
THEMES: The coasts of Ka Shaer are not known to be kind, and quite literally anything is possible.
You may make puzzles. You may make illusions. You may make grand beasts of unknown possibilities.
You have creative freedom. Understand nothing involving the gorgons are meant to be happy or peaceful.
There will be sorrow, pain, depression, and despair, especially in desolate villages.
REWARDS: TO BE DISCUSSED WITH DM
RISK: AT DM DISCRETION
DM: COULD BE YOU!
as this is meant to be an event line, there will be two other events following after this. (not immediately, of course.)
as such it is understandable that the risks may slowly rise, and it is my hope whoever picks this up will be willing to stick through with the storyline to the end!
this offers a chance to emphasize and grow more lore for the gorgons/yyngaln-yi as well, which will be documented.
thank you for taking an interest!
(small note: some things are purposefully vague. whoever picks the event line up will get the full length of what is planned for this.)

Putting the Dead to Rest [Public Event] |

After ten years of brutal warfare, the Demon King Indras has fallen, and his invading force have been transformed into magical beasts of all types, leaving the infested areas clear of their presence once more.
Yet their influence lingers, even now after they're gone. The chaos and ruination that they sought while their King was still alive was already wrought and could not be undone. All over the continent, millions mourn the ones that they lost to this grueling and terrible invasion.
But the worst has passed, and the people begin to rebuild, burying their sorrow in work and expressing their relief and anger through loud complaints of hazard pay and the toppling of crumbling ruins, respectively. Each pile of rubble cleared carries the memories lost, yet their absence unburdens those left behind of a reminder of the pain they are going through.
One such demolition project, however, is currently halted due to a most gruesome sight:
Seven heads hanging from the ruins of the first city hit- that of Ten's Citadel, the capital of what was once Aegis. A reminder left behind by the demons both of their absolute cruelty and brutality, and of the ignominious deaths that many of its citizens suffered on that fateful day. Since the initial discovery, multiple reports have come out of several bodies that have gone missing. In response to all this, a call has gone out.
"They must be honored, not forgotten or ignored."
Letters are sent out, town criers are bribed, and some merchant caravans are paid to include this particular call to action on the sides of their carts, asking for spiritmancers in particular to call forth the spirits of those lost and displayed in such a way to identify them and pass the news to their next-of-kin, if any still remain, and to observe the proper funeral rites. Beyond that, there is a general call to the people of Meranthe to attend the seance and assist with the demolition of the ruined structures, to rebuff the terrors that the Atrellyans had promised, and provide a suitable farewell to those who were the first to give their lives to stem the tide, when it was at its greatest.
Date: TBD

The memetic entity known as THE CREATURE has peered too far into it's own mental landscape by way of psionics. Allowing a multitude of existences to form within it's self vying for control every waking moment. As it's been doing it's best to handle such they have begun to develop personalities based upon the humanoids it has observed. Watching them converse and eventually pick a leader. But it can not recall the name of this new life within it's head. Leading to an ironic paradox of it's own mind invading it's own.
There is only one way to handle this. Meeting them in it's own mindscape and either forcing them to conform or destroying them entirely.
What could possibly go wrong?
Attendees: Ashtionyeezus(<b><big>THECREAUTRE</b></big>) + a few more who will be invited icly.
Risk: COD
Themes: Horror, Silly, Chaotic, Solace, Reflection.
Rewards: The voices made manifest in a physical item.

Event Preferences: Mini-Events, Small Events, Parties! I favor dark fantasy themes but also sparkly fun themes! There is a strong possibility I will refuse anything lore heavy.
Other Notes: I refuse anything that isn't a small party (5 Players Max) in requests. Also, I am still fairly new to this all so I will make mistakes. I can also be a bit slow, but I will do my best to personalize responses to each each player, given my preference to these smaller groups.
Are you currently running events, and if so, are you considering player requested events?: Yes to both! This is the reason I made this thread. Make requests with my preferences in mind. No larger then parties of five, please do not try to convince me to take more then that, I might accidently say something mean if you do.
Discord # or best means of contact: @galgal on discord. I am not in the main Eternia Discord, so if you have trouble finding me, page me @GalionKnight on BYOND Pager or send me a pm here on the forums.
Extra (Please Read!):
+ I most likely will enforce time limits on emotes during events to hasten both you and myself. This is not intended to increase the stress of an event but instead to create a better flow and avoid waiting lethargy. RP Time Limits will be 15 minutes when applied.
+ Events that go over their ETA if one is mentioned will kick into overtime. I will cut content to reach the climatic conclusion if need be.
+ Do not hesitate to sayplay given the above two. In fact, I encourage it when you find oppurtunity. Sayplay creates stronger dynamics during the course of events and thus improves interactions significantly, while helping to maintain pacing.
I value people's time, both yours and my own. I would like to setup a flow where players feel peppy and happy at the end, rather then exhausted and ready to sleep, even if contented.
When reviewing my events, give me your harshest criticisms. Don't sugarcoat any issues you have- I will make mistakes, and I will seek to improve from them. If I fuck up an event, I will not cry or be sad if you abuse me in your review. I will still (probably) love you!
